Hair models | Ascot & Greenslopes
Learn here.
Love your hair.
Help the next generation of Epic stylists build their craft in a fully supervised salon environment, with selected hair services offered at significantly reduced prices.
The learning space
Ascot Academy.
Where the craft begins.
Epic Hair Designs’ own learning space gives apprentices a fully simulated salon environment in which to learn all things hairdressing.
Every session is supervised by experienced trainers who also work as qualified hairdressers in Epic salons. Services are selected around the students’ current training needs, so model suitability can vary from one session to the next.
Apprentices practise practical skills in a professional salon setting.
Qualified hairdressers and trainers oversee the learning process.
Each appointment is matched to what apprentices need to learn that day.
Two academy experiences
Ascot and Greenslopes.
Ascot is the core apprentice learning environment. Greenslopes is Epic’s graduate salon space, where emerging stylists put their academy learning into practice during their final year.
Greenslopes Salon Academy
The graduate salon
The next step at Greenslopes.
At Greenslopes, emerging stylists put everything they learned at Ascot into practice while completing their final year.
The Salon Academy is fully overseen by an experienced educator and hairdresser. It gives graduate stylists room to refine their skills while models receive selected salon services at significantly discounted prices.

Before you enquire
A training salon works differently.
We will always aim for a result you love, but academy appointments require more time, flexibility and patience than a standard salon visit.
Apprentices are still developing their speed and experience. Some colour or cutting work may not be achievable on the day, and the team will discuss what is possible before proceeding.
Training services take longer than a usual salon appointment. The expected time is listed with each session.
Shampoo the day before your appointment, except for Keratin Smoothing Treatments, which are prepared on the day.
Ascot colour, highlighting, KKT and treatment services have a small fee. Greenslopes prices are significantly discounted.
Epic points cannot be used at Ascot Academy because its services are already heavily reduced.
The training environment cannot accommodate children or additional guests while meeting space and safety requirements.
